The Incredible Growing Wrap..A Happy Ending

Well, it's just about done, and 6" shorter than it was originally!

I did a row of zig zag stitching on my sewing machine, and cut off the
extra. Then I bought some Cha-Cha in black, combined it with some black
sport weight yarn, and did a hem. I picked up stitches on the wrong side,
just did a few rows of garter stitch, then folded the hem over the fuzzy
bits from the cutting, and stitched it in place.

So now I have a nice fluffy black border on the edges, and am pleased.
(Thanks, Mirjam, for your idea!)

Someday, I hope to put some photos up. Now I can start my latest project - a
Drops pattern in Karisma for my DH. He is in sticker shock from the price of
yarn, but it will be an heirloom...right?

Hugs,

I recently completed a vest in the Homespun, and I also just can't
imagine taking a scissors to it (having pulled it out 3 times to
finally get it right) ! I am now awaiting cool weather to actually
wear it, and thanks for the preparation of probably calling it a tunic
top, rather than a vest. ha ha
